	Photoshop question
	I've used photoshop for years and this always happens and I never really bothered to ask why or how to fix it. The best way to describe it is say I have an image thats a certain size, and I'm sketching/painting within that canvas, but when I get close to the edges its like my line is magnetized to the edge and creates really warped straight lines, like its following the border instead of letting me go off the page at my liesure. Under the cut is an example of this: Notice along the edges of the canvas the lines seem a bit more warped like they're following/magnetically drawn to the border? That wasn't intentional. The closer I got to the border with my brush my line was drawn to the edge. Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? Anyone else experience this? D: I've had this problem with multiple versions of Photoshop, right now I have 7 (I never made the CS jump, I need to..) edit Fixed!! Thank you so much :D Turns out I had "snap" turned on. To fix this go to View > uncheck "Snap". Wow...I don't know the purpose of that option but it sure is annoying.

Man, I can't help you, but I used ot have that exact same problem. I think it must have fixed itself after YEARS of it happening because I only just realised it doesn't happen anymore.

And... I n ever realised CS was a newer version, lamely. I always thought it was a 'basic' version. I might have to look into that.

Sorry I wasn't any help.

I think it has to do with 'snapping' to the grid or what not... uhhmmm.... ... I wish I knew what to tell you. ;_;

Try under 'view' and then snap? If that's even the issue...

It's helpful in webdesign where you want things to be all straight and junk... but for most things, it's a huge hassle!

It's very helpful when you have guides and you want to move layers to very specific points in the image. Snapping to the edge is just *dumb*. :)

See if your snap too is turned on or not I think that could be causing the problem but I'm not completely sure.

I use snapping when I'm aligning some stuff to guides. I saw the question was answered.

Oh man. Totally had the same problem, thank you so much!

What I would do is make my canvas a tad bigger and then crop the snapped lines off when I was done. D:

ditto but it is a pain in the ass with sizing. glad we got an answer for that pesky thing! Goodness that shouldn't be an "automatic on" in photoshop, it really shouldnt D:
